I'm too far away (but I think I can travel for that day if anyone's
offering expenses) and I support free software, not Richard Stallman
in particular.  However, I thought that fsuk-manchester members didn't
have access to the event, so it would be standing outside for most
people, which I can understand may not be that attractive to some.
Also, it really needs a sound-knowledgeable member to take the lead
and brief others, for campaigning to be really effective.

I wonder whether it would be more effective to start with the online
debates during April first?  I don't remember anyone suggesting doing
anything for them yet.

That limitation seems like a serious problem IMO.

Obtuse?  Please reread your own emails.  Some of the recent ones like

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/fsuk-manchester/2008-03/msg00076.html
don't even seem to contain any original content.  Explain what you
want, rather than get annoyed with the world for not guessing.
